Aerodynamics

My husband was hunched over the computer again. "Are you looking at car stuff again?" My tone belied a growing lack of interest in browsing the Internet looking for more information about Honda Pilots, the new car we were considering buying. Although initially we had found some reviews and comparisons that were helpful, my husband was insistent that shopping online for prices was going to pay off at the dealers. I was skeptical - "There's no way they are going to come down that much," was my…

Those who do not play nor watch sports have very little knowledge on the subject. The one thing everyone knows and that all sports have in common is, the main point, to score against the opponent. Professional football and basketball are two of the most popular sports in America. With millions of fans watching live televised games across the nation these two sports each generate billions of dollars every year. The players make millions based on their salary, bonuses, and endorsements. Although,…

The vehicles of this era were named under the Classical era of car industry, which was characterized with less geometrical forms, leaning towards being more passionate and faster. Technology helped in providing cars with more efficient aerodynamics and more luxurious forms. Inspiring car designers to design their vehicles after trains and airplanes. Towards the end of this era the automobile industry was heading into a dark tunnel due to the over use of unrealistic airplanes inspirations…

nuclear weapons before they were ready for the space program, NASA. Once NASA was formed it was their goal to get humans in space, at first scientists thought it was the best idea to have women in space because they were lighter weight and more aerodynamic. Before NASA was actually ready to send the first people in space, a scientist Randy Lovelace performed physicals on air fighters (all men) and women independently.…

much about the P-51 Mustang but i do know a little bit. For a first I know that the P-51 mustang came into play during WW2. The P-51 Mustang was a very popular design of aircraft for the U.S.. this design was good because it was very fast and aerodynamic. the Mustang assisted in bombing runs to help get the bombers to the spot at least halfway intact. that's why the P-51 mustang was a superior aircraft I want to learn more about the P-51 mustang because i like aircraft a lot. ever since i…

So many things that seem so different but really can be close to the same. From Ken Block to Bryan Clauson we are all connected to each other no matter what. Ken Block is a racer on rally, Bryan Clauson a racer of midgets; two very different things but still have a lot alike. As almost all racing seems to be different with many things that can even be almost identical. Ken Block has had many accomplishments with racing and business. Block is the founder of Hoonigan Racing Division and the…

prominence of things until we lose them. Without having what is natural in life we won’t have artificial creations. Let us take for example, the automotive industry, which relies heavily on a multiple set of laws, such as the laws of thermodynamics, aerodynamics, geometrical aspects, motion and many others. None of these would’ve existed if it weren’t for the laws of nature. In other words, the laws of nature are considered to be the core of the fundamental principles of everything we (humans)…

The Tacoma Narrows Bridge is a pair of twin suspension bridges that span the Tacoma Narrows strait of Puget Sound in Pierce County, Washington. The bridges connect the city of Tacoma with the Kitsap Peninsula and carry State Route 16 over the strait. Historically, the name "Tacoma Narrows Bridge" has applied to the original bridge nicknamed "Galloping Gertie", which opened in July 1940 but collapsed because of aeroelastic flutter four months later, as well as the replacement of the original…

The Wind Energy of Old Is No Longer the Wind Energy of Today. As the world populace continues to increase and non-renewable resources dwindle, society has begun to examine and reexamine alternative forms of energy. One type of energy that has come to the forefront, to meet society’s needs, is wind power. This energy is formed through the unequal warming of the earth’s surface by the sun, the inconstancies of its surface, and it rotation. This energy that is formed, by motion, can be harvested…

the structure and usually underneath the roof there would not be any supporting pillars since the pillars on the sides are strong enough to held the structure stable. Furthermore, the design of not having any pillars in the middle increases the aerodynamic of the structure and it inspires modern engineers to design buildings with different floors and with side pillars supporting it. For example, the Parthenon was built based on the idea of of this and which was an architecture achievement at the…
